Yes........ I have asked those questions but unlike you I have studied them out and accept plain statements by Jesus. I also know the difference between My thoughts and Scripture. I also know the difference between the MT and LXX.. I have studied this too.. You obviously are not aware of the discrepancies in the MT from the Quotes in the NT...Not trying to make anything fit.. In fact your example is a very poor one to try to use to make your case.. there are much better ones.. However, in the final analysis it can be shown that the MT was not the text used to quote from. Jesus is God but he talks to you in your own language and makes relatively easy to understand statements but you don't want to listen to him you would rather listen to some man tell you what he said.

Always you attempt to make things fit your position. Never do you question the fact that you might be wrong. Very wrong indeed. Neville.

Which, the earliest records of the Churches used Even Greek and Roman Catholic.........Paul here too is quoting from a Septuagint. The twisting is of the "Hebrew" text not Jesus or Paul. --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo! Photos. Get Yahoo!
